Build the financial literacy and operational confidence to manage performance, control budgets and make sound decisions that create sustainable organizational value. - Develop People and Teams with Care
Understand how teams function, how to navigate negotiations and conflict, and how to build the kind of organizational culture where people and performance grow together. - Navigate Change and Organizational Complexity
Learn to drive organizational change, manage risk and make responsible decisions under pressure with genuine accountability for outcomes.
Requirements / Application
- Applicants must provide a secondary school leaving certificate. For those with a German certificate, including Abitur or Fachhochschulreife, the verification is done in-house. For non-German certificates, the verification is completed via a ministry check or entrance exam.
- Proof of English proficiency at a minimum B2 level is required. While certificates are preferred, this requirement can be waived if English is the applicant’s native language or if they have completed a degree program taught in English.
- Applicants must demonstrate their motivation through the application form and during the admission process.
- An admission interview is mandatory and is used to assess the applicant’s eligibility and alignment with the program.
- Applicants must be able to attend mandatory evening course discussions, which are scheduled at 6 PM CET. Accommodations for other time zones are currently limited until there is a critical mass of learners in those regions.
- Adherence to ToU’s community guidelines, which emphasize a spirit of service, is required. This is assessed during the admission process, including the interview.
- A letter of motivation must be submitted to explain the applicant’s reasons for joining the program. If an applicant has participated in a company-sponsored challenge (e.g., Deutsche Bank), they may be exempt from submitting the letter but must still demonstrate their motivation during the interview.
